The 24 Best Albums of 2015

This was the year that the Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) got the attention of everyone, based on how widespread his songs were and how incredible it all is. Maybe you saw Fifty Shades of Grey and were seduced by "Earned It," or maybe "Can't Feel My Face" was your Summer jam, or maybe "The Hills" was that sexy radio song that grew on you. Either way, The Weeknd killed it this year with an album that had crazy appeal and instant hits, and was big enough to score a Grammy nomination.
